Excellent water repellency with no seam leakage despite not being specifically designed for outdoor use. Performs exceptionally well for a work wear style jacket.
Strength
- No leakage through shoulder seams
- No leakage through arms or other areas
- Thickest material of tested jackets
- Wax effectively repels water
- Excellent overall performance
Weakness
- Hand pockets open at top and collect some water
- Not designed for serious outdoor excursions

A legendary, heavily constructed 24-ounce waxed canvas jacket with beautiful details and deep gusseted back, but excessively stiff and trim-fitting - functions more as a fashion piece resembling work wear rather than practical work jacket. Extremely limited availability with long wait times.
Strength
- 24-ounce fabric from same factory as Workhorse source
- Beautiful custom brass hardware
- Deep gusseted back for mobility
- Zipper with storm flap
- Exceptional craftsmanship and details
Weakness
- Extremely expensive at ~$600
- Long wait times (2025-2026 delivery)
- Material too stiff and doesn't drape naturally
- Trim fit not functional for actual work
- Borders on fashion piece rather than true work wear
- Version 1 (reviewed) has no lining
